they used 1t iudicous!y
The Ute Nation is divided into two sec
tions-yiz., the Southern Utes, who have
been pretty generally friendly, and the
Northern Or White River Utcs, VINO break
out into fits Of emotional insanity when
ever their ponies get their bellies fun Of
grass.
There are, however, two sides to the In
dian question, viz. "a right and wrong
side That is why the Indian question wears
so well
One of the great wrongs incident to the
matter is the great delay in officially reach
ing the War Department IN such a way as
to attract the eye Of the speaker BY the
time u courier can get in TO a telegraph
station and wire the Governor Of a State,
who notifies the Adiutaut-Gancral to write
dictated letter with his trenchent type
writer, apprising the commander Of the dc
partmcut, who is at COncy Island or Carls-
bad, with no typewriter nearer chan fifteen
miles, who wires the Governor to make ac-
tive inquiries about the matter and by the
time the Governor has sent u committee

hOstilitPs. and return at the end of six

! suit of the outbreak. come in and make
written and grammatical request for troops,
and the War Department gets Thoroughly
rested, the Indians have gone home, washed
| the gore off their hands and resumed their
quiet, humdrum life. Like trying TO treat Il
man in Liverpool for soitca!ug OF the brain
| by applying the mind cure per cable from
| New York, the remedy IS too remote from
| the disease.
| Indians are Quick and imnulsive in the
matter of homicide. They are slow to

turc, and all the humorous lecturers WHO
| have been on the Ute lecture course have

they act with astonishing rapidt'y As u
